Leigh Park Gardens......the Lake

Leigh Park Gardens......the Lake
Strangely enough the ruins (which date from the early 1800s) are what is left of a small gun battery set up for nine guns. Why anyone would need that in an ornamental lake is a mystery..!!

They obviously intended to repel invaders of their private retreat. Or to do outdoor performances of the 1812 overture with live cannons…
Lovely photo Keith..such a pretty spot! Happy Sunday..Diana

The ideas people then came up with;-) In your photo the remains of the battery look so peaceful, helped by the lovely reflections. A beautifully composed photo.
